The tiger and the cosmonaut  Cover Image Book Book

The tiger and the cosmonaut / Eddy Boudel Tan.

Summary:

"A noirish page-turner about a mysterious disappearance and a moving portrait of a Chinese-Canadian family navigating insecurities, expectations, and simmering anger in their small BC town. Casper Han grew up the dutiful son of immigrants who never felt entirely welcome in their remote corner of British Columbia. Now an adult, living in Vancouver with a boyfriend whose white privilege he quietly resents, Casper rarely returns to his hometown, the site of a grief his family doesn't discuss: the loss of his identical twin, Sam. Over twenty years have passed since Sam went missing, and a pressing crisis has brought Casper and his siblings back. Their father has vanished, only to be found wandering the vast woods beyond the family home, confused and showing signs of memory loss. In order to move forward, the Han family, accustomed to fleeing their problems and accepting the hand dealt to them, must stay put and finally confront the past--untangling the mystery of what really happened the night of Sam's disappearance, and how the town failed them in the aftermath of it."-- Provided by publisher.
